Before a wedding dress fitting, the writer had cool-toned pink makeup with wavy hair at Moi Hair Makeup, and the base covered every blemish while the parting and fringe were set exactly as requested. Moi Hair Makeup also hands over cotton swabs and a small portion of the lip color used, making it a solid pick for dress tours or interview makeup. ## Good to know - **Location**: 2-minute walk from Hongik University Station Exit 3, basement level 1 - **Hours**: Daily 05:00-18:00 - **Reservations**: Phone bookings only, 10:00-18:00 (text message only outside those hours) - **Service received**: Hair and makeup for a wedding dress fitting (pink tone, waves) - **Extra touch**: Cotton swabs and a portioned sample of the lip color at the end *as written by the visitor on Sep 20, 2026* ![Cover photo from a visit to Moi Hair Makeup in Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-01-1jk9m-m-900.webp) With my wedding coming up soon, I was looking around for where to get makeup done before my dress fitting, and I ended up at Moi Hair Makeup, a well-known makeup salon in Hongdae! This was my first time getting makeup done in Hongdae since interview makeup, so I was so excited haha ## Where is Moi Hair Makeup and what are its hours? > Hours: Daily 05:00-18:00 / Phone reservations only 10:00-18:00 (text only outside those hours) ![Walking route to Moi Hair Makeup near Hongik University Station Exit 3](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-02-a7i1z-900.webp) ![Entrance to Moi Hair Makeup on the basement level](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-03-oz12v-900.webp) I don't think it's even 2 minutes from Hongdae Station Exit 3... it's so close you'll find it in no time! It's on the basement level so it was easy to find~ A staff member happened to step out right then and greeted me so brightly, so kind... I was genuinely touched... ![Salon entrance and reception area](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-04-a9djr-900.webp) ![Clean and tidy interior of the makeup salon](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-05-17lq1-900.webp) ![Interior view of the salon divided into sections](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-06-1k6b2-900.webp) ## Inside Moi Hair Makeup: private one-person styling booths Once inside, it was so clean and divided into separate sections, I loved it~ ![The private one-person makeup section she was seated in](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-07-1c9yj-900.webp) They guided me to a private one-person section where I sat right down to wait, and while waiting I took photos of all the makeup tools around me — there were really so many kinds, and I thought, so this is why a popular salon is different... > < ![Various makeup tools set up at the station](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-08-uesgi-900.webp) ![Makeup products displayed by type](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-09-9kum2-900.webp) There were so many kinds that I, who knows zero about makeup, found myself thinking, when would anyone even use all of this~ haha and I got even more excited! I've had makeup done a few times before, but getting pretty makeup always makes me excited, looking forward to seeing my transformed self~~~ ![Diffuser placed in the makeup room](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-10-1pkxo-900.webp) There was even a diffuser, so the whole time I sat in the makeup room the scent was so nice, it put me in a great mood haha. And before getting my makeup done, I thought ahead about what style I wanted! Like, since I'm cool-toned, going for a pink tone... or wanting a natural eyeliner instead of something too heavy, etc. ## Before: a bare face with only BB cream ![Before photo of a bare face prior to makeup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-11-2qp6i-m-900.webp) ![Before state of the face before the treatment](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-12-1ttvg-m-900.webp) I know zero about makeup so I really just go around with only BB cream on — this is my completely bare face, the before photo haha. Now the transformation story begins! haha ![Getting waves curled and base makeup applied](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-13-efqfz-900.webp) ## How a dress-fitting hair and makeup session works at Moi Hair Makeup First, the director roughly curled my hair into waves and then stepped out! Then a staff member did the base makeup very meticulously~~ She was so thorough that all my blemishes were completely covered — seeing that, I really felt the power of makeup > < Then the director came back and handled the detail work needed for the eyes and the overall look! Both of them were so meticulous with their hands... I was so satisfied ![Hair styling in progress for the dress-fitting look](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-14-1xofk-900.webp) And for the dress fitting, they asked what hairstyle I wanted and did their best to match it~~~~ ![Finishing touches on the parting and fringe](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-15-rhk0l-900.webp) They very carefully styled the parting, side hair, and fringe exactly how I wanted, and even used hairspray along the way to keep it from falling apart~~~~ ## After: the finished pink-toned makeup and waves ![Finished after photo with pink-toned hair and makeup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-16-1ps14-m-1200.webp) The difference from the before photo was so dramatic — so pink and pretty, eyes so clear, no blemishes at all... my mood lifted right along with it~~~ They transformed me so beautifully haha ![Front view of the finished makeup with clear, defined eyes](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-17-6nspa-m-900.webp) I liked it so much I took tons of photos, and when I went to my dress fitting I even got complimented on how pretty my makeup was haha ![Photo taken before heading to the dress fitting](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-18-175d0-m-900.webp) ![Side profile with wavy hair and pink makeup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-19-10w2i-m-900.webp) ![Additional photo of the finished hair and makeup](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-20-14nw5-m-900.webp) They probably all look similar, but I liked it so much I took a bunch, and I'm posting them here just for my own satisfaction haha ![Touch-up cotton swabs and portioned lip product given at the end](https://img.superchart.com/images/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi/hongdae-makeup-shop-dress-fitting-moi-21-13egt-900.webp) ## Touch-up cotton swabs and a portioned lip color to take home And at the very end, they gave me cotton swabs and a portioned-out amount of the lip color they'd used, so I could touch up later~~ How thoughtful can you get, ㅠㅠ absolutely loved it.
